It could certainly be worse. But the thing is, Russia has so many options for inflicting physical damage that the cyberattacks are relatively less important.

Russia has failed all of its strategic objectives including an effort to maim Ukrainian power infrastructure. I wouldn’t have been totally surprised if Russian cyber attacks were genuinely capable of disabling large parts of critical networks. But I’m glad to see they’re not.
